i chose not to attend RSNA although it would not have been that far of a drive to go...and a really close flight. i had another conference to attend...

i enjoyed the dialogue on the 12/9/09, conference call between the cardiologist and dean, they came to a middle ground...and the cardiologist provided some good insights for how he sees the role of the DViS in his discipline.

images, in a minute... let me say, this first, you know why dean hasn't shown the images yet... he doesn't want to A.) 'disrupt' the FDA, and B.) (although patent-protected) let other corporations glean any insights...

ALSO, i'm really surprised people here are not complaining or whatever about dean not having the fully functional DViS at RSNA... again, see the paragraph directly above (part B). although, even if he did, no one is allowed to operate their equipment at the conference/tradeshow.

now, pertaining to images, i absolutely have to show you pictures from what i consider to be the most relevant article, it is my opinion that the DViS real-time 3D will appear as these images appear from the, "Use of a C-Arm System to Generate True Three-dimensional Computed Rotational Angiograms."

NOTE: ALL THESE 3D IMAGES ARE RECONSTRUCTED IMAGES... they are obtained by modifying a biplanar fluoroscopy system...

NOTE: The DViS will remedy many of the issues of this technique as described in the article. But, all i have time for tonight is to post this message: look at page 1511. but, i will go over why i say this later...

Figure 2:

Fig 2. Comparison of a single 3-D volume reconstruction of an anesthetized pig with the original 2-D radiographic projections.

A and C, Lateral and anteroposterior views in MIP through the 3-D volume.

B and D, 2-D lateral and AP projection images, matched to A and C. Note the faithful reconstruction of small vessels in the MIP images as compared with the vessels that are visible in the 2-D projection images.

E, Craniocaudal MIP image through the 3-D volume. This view is not normally available to the interventionalist during patient treatment. The small, straight object (center bottom) to the right of the carotid indicates the presence of a high-contrast marker within the endotracheal tube.
